Severus looked down as Remus stood up, suddenly embarrassed by the way he was lashing out. It seemed like him and Remus would never be able to see eye to eye on the topic of his Death Eater status, and if the war got any worse… well, he feared for where that would leave them. He was ashamed by which side he’d chosen, but it wasn’t as if there was anything to be done about it now. “Then tell me what I can do to make this better,” he said finally, eyes flicking up to meet Remus’, “Because right now the only two options besides what we’re already doing are die or go to Azkaban, and that doesn’t seem like a good choice for either of us.”
Remus was surprised at how quickly Severus seemed to come to his senses, it took him a moment to let his words fully sink in. "Neither one of those things are an option, Severus." Remus shook his head, "I'm not going to let you go to Azkaban, and you're fucking crazy if you think I'd let you die." Remus folded his arms over his chest again, but he took a small step towards him. "You know if you wanted to join us, we'd protect you." He maintained eye contact despite the urge to look away. But he needed Severus to know that he was being serious, "We'd figure out a way to keep you safe. I hate that I don't know what's gonna happen to you every time you leave the house. I'm scared, Sev. I want to protect you, and I think the only way I can is if you let everyone else help me."
